Compensation . . .

“Death: "THERE ARE BETTER THINGS IN THE WORLD THAN ALCOHOL, ALBERT." 

Albert: "Oh, yes, sir. But alcohol sort of compensates for not getting them.” 

― Terry Pratchett

"A lady came up to me one day . . ."

Behold, Jazz night is upon you . . .

And lo, it is Monday night, and that means bad ass jazz at the Amsterdam Bar. Music starts around 10:00 pm; get there early if you want a table. Get thee hence to hear the jazz and partake of the libations.

"Ho! Ho! Ho! To the bottle I go"

The Corner of the Eagle and ChildPub, Oxford, where the Inklings met (1930–1950).

“Ho! Ho! Ho! To the bottle I go

To heal my heart and drown my woe

Rain may fall, and wind may blow

And many miles be still to go

But under a tall tree will I lie

And let the clouds go sailing by”

― J.R.R. Tolkien
